Mouse stops working and need to switch to touchpad

I use a wireless mouse but there are times it will randomly stop working. I have tried replacing the batteries, turning it off and back on, and eventually buying a new mouse. I've tried switching the connection as well but nothing seems to work. I will be using it, stop to type, and when I go back, the mouse isn't working and I have to use the touchpad. Any suggestions on any other fixes other than what I mentioned?

Mouse stops working and need to switch to touchpad

Hello Louis!

There are few reasons why your wireless mouse keeps on disconnecting to your desktop or laptop. It’s either software is not properly updated or settings in your system must be tweaked properly. Here are some of the easiest and best resolution for your problem.

3. In the main screen you’ll see all hardware installed in your computer. “Asterisk” symbol in any of your hardware means proper software installation and upgrade needed.

4. Drop down the option with the “right-directional arrow” before the device (Bluetooth or USB). Select “USB Root Hub 1-2-3-4-etc” right-click and select Properties. New Window will appear and look for the tab “Power Management.” “Un-tick” the box that says “Allow the computer to turn off this device….” Click “OK” button and do this with other hardware that you’re having problems with.

5. Restart computer and check if your mouse will do the same problem again.

If this doesn’t work open again Device Manager.

1. Drop down the option for Mice and other pointing devices. Right-click on the hardware that will appear and then select “Update Driver and Software.” This option will work especially with Windows 8 since most of the hardware and devices are not configured in the first installation of your operating system.
